Description

"Rustic Bridge Adolphus Busch Gardens Pasadena Cal." by Graham Photo Company, ca. 1910s. The image shows the concrete bridge with unfinished wood posts and rails over a small man-made creek. Rock retaining walls, rock-lined paths and trees and shurbs are most notable, while in the distance are rolling lawns and more paths. The gardens existed from 1905 to 1938 and were a major tourist attraction. Although developed into private homesites, the bridge survives in one of these sites. With some soiling, creases, and edge wear, the condition is good.
